Maria Card Game

Maria Solitaire is a two deck solitaire card game similar to Limited Solitaire or Forty Thieves Solitaire. In Maria Solitaire, 36 cards are dealt into 9 piles of 4 cards each. Only the top card in each of these piles may be used. The player can build down the piles, alternating color, or may build up the 8 foundations by suit from Ace to King. When the player gets stuck he may deal cards one at a time from the stock pile to the waste pile and use those cards to help build down the piles, or build up the foundations. When all the cards have been removed from a pile, the player may start a new pile in it's place with any card he likes.
